Admission to the Salt Lake • Tooele Applied Technology College (SLTATC) is open to high school students and adults. The College serves the citizens and employers of Salt Lake and Tooele Counties, and is committed to a policy of nondiscrimination on the basis of race, national origin, sex, or disability as established by the Utah System of Higher Education.

SLTATC programs and courses are designed for individuals who wish to develop or improve occupational competencies or who are interested in life-long learning opportunities. The College has an open-entry / open-exit approach for most programs and courses, which means that students may enroll at any time depending on the space available in their chosen program.

Basic Skills Assessment
Math and English language skills are important for success in training programs. The College assists adult students in achieving their potential by assessing their basic skill levels in math and English language skills using the Test of Adult Basic English (TABE) Locator/Survey or by evaluating their skills through high school or college transcripts. High school students are not tested as their school counselor will determine if they have met the appropriate skill levels for the training program they are entering.

The TABE score will determine whether students will directly enroll in their program, simultaneously enroll in his/her program and basic skills education, or begin their training in the College's Learning Center to improve their basic skills prior to the start of their chosen program. The SLTATC Student Advisor works with students to determine the best approach for them.
